Moving back to Trinidad

[danny101]

I'm a born Trinidad but left at a young age and I now live in Canada. I was planning to move back to Trinidad to do my post-secondary studies (to do psychology) however, I contacted a few psychologist in Trinidad and I was told by most its best to get my schooling abroad. But I truly miss my home and want to come back, what I would like to know now is if I wanted to open my own starter up business in Trinidad, what would be some good industries to go into that I could potentially make a good earning? Also if I do move back what should be some things things that I should expect moving back to Trinidad after all these years (I have a ton of family members in Trinidad).

All responses are greatly appreciated.

Trust me that was never my expectation or the mentality I have moving back, I am a hard worker and I won't let that hinder my success in Trinidad.

Thanks for your response

You not missing out on anything.

Free MC health care in Canada and you wanna come down here? You want to end up in a nursing home for a fat nurse to stand up on your belly?

If you missing trinidad, come down for Christmas/carnival and then go back up.

Danny101, coming down to trin for a holiday is all and well but living here is another thing. Lots of abroad trins come for a holiday and they find they can live here but that's not reality. I know of older retired folk that lived years aboard and just could not readapt to living here.

If your serious then you need to spend at least 3 months and observer daily life while doing some research if you can make living here. If your well off then that will help you but if starting off from scratch then that another thing.

I srsly doubt he could learn to cope & deal wit all the bs, corruption & chupidness that goes on here in a measly 3 months. A year maybe.

is only cause we in it from d day we born we have a extremely high tolerance for it.
certain tings we does tolerate & accept as normal here go have op like

I think some of you all live on "yeah a get meh visa" and "wow I going and shop for 2wks" life you all don't know the reverse. While Canada might be developed and efficient it is also cold and empty. We take for granted the good weather we experience, not feeling like a foreigner in your country, having warm neighbours and having a moderate pace of life.

OP won't be the first to move back, in the same way some of you might not what to work like a dog here but will willingly work like a dog abroad and have no one to share it with except to come home ever so often and boast to your family. No where is perfect, but having lived both in countries more developed than T&T and less developed than T&T, T&T is a great place to live.

Well if you're bi or lesbian......trini isn't the most gay friend place, however we are far more accepting of hot lesbians than gay men.

If you looking for business ideas, PM me. I have a host of ideas that I will not divulge liberally.

wat?

Canadians are known for being friendly, sometimes too friendly. I guess it's due to the harsh cold.

When the winters can reach -40C and something happens to your heat or radiator, the last person you want to have as an enemy is your neighbour.

[Spitfir3]

Canadians are very nice people from my experience from the people ive known who were back and forth the ones who opted to stay here only did so because they couldn't take the weather up there

if you're starting from scratch in trini expect to work like a dog of course if you've been living that Canadian life then you're probably accustom to that already

RENT is HIGH, you NEED a car to get around Trinidad, insurance for it, crime is the usual.

But can we ask why do you want to move back to Trinidad? You may be in for some reverse culture shock.

Honestly the so called "family" I live with right now are more or less the devils themselves and Im tired of living with them and would rather go back home than endure having to put up with their crap any longer ( I was a minor at the time so couldn't really do much about my living conditions).

[ismithx]

op, here's my advice




don't

seconded

cliffs of abroad:
people may not be as neighborly as down here
higher pay and higher living costs
better civilized

cliffs of here:
everything cheap
rat race mentality

[Country_Bookie]

Are you coming here to study or to work? As a citizen, the biggest pro to coming back is GATE which covers ur full tuition for a 1st degree. However rent is expensive especially around UWI and USC.

TT is in a recession, so unless u have a new business model or untapped niche market in ur start up business, it will take a lot of hard work to succeed.

My $0.02 would be to start ur studies, and while here u can figure out which type of business is most suitable to ur skills.

Firstly, Trinidad is not cheap, not by a long shot. I found the US, even the UK (factoring bills, taxes and sh*t) cheaper.

Rat Race mentality is right though. Everyone and they nanny go be up in your business.

If it's an option, move out from them so called family in Canada and get your own place and job.
